ABSTRACT. Using Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem, we establish the existence of positive
periodic solutions to two pairs of related nonautonomous functional delta dynamic equations on
periodic time scales, and then extend the discussion to higher-dimensional equations. Two pairs
of corresponding nabla equations are also provided in an analogous manner.
Key words and phrases: Periodic boundary value problem, nabla dynamic equation, delta dynamic equation.
